Saving the Model

Chapter 6: Love Shot

"SHIT."

Agad akong dumirecho sa fridge at kumuha ng maiinom. Nakakainis ka, Mikha! Para ka namang bagets kanina. Kiniss ka lang naman ni Maloi.

Kiniss ako ni Maloi

Kiniss ako ni Maloi

Kiniss ako ni Maloi sa cheeks.

Napatingin ako sa may estante at napansin kong nakangiti ako, agad akong umiling. "Boang!" Tinuro ko pa ang repleksyon ko sa salamin.

Kainis. Kumakabog pa rin ang dibdib ko dahil sa hiya... pwede rin dahil sa kilig?

Shit.

Bakit ako nahihiya, susunduin ko pa siya mamaya. Nakakainis. Baka mahalata niya pagka-ilang ko, pero bakit ba ako naiilang?

This is not the first time that a girl kissed me. Stacey kissed me din naman before but I was never like a smiling mess.

"Why am I getting so worked up?" Inis na sambit ko, umiling ako at nag-ayos na lang.

Tinignan ko ang orasan and it's still early, so I could still enjoy a hot bath. Tama baka nabigla lang ako kasi model siya.

Ugh. Women. Women are my weakness, no joke. I'm really good at everything but when it comes to women, I'm like a lost child.

When I was done with my bath, I decided to simply wear comfortable clothes para sa magiging dinner mamaya with our team. I'll wear a black hoodie and gray sweatpants.

Sa unit ko, I have three rooms. My main room, a guest room, and my gaming room. Mas malaki gaming room ko dahil nakalagay din dito ang perfume collection ko along with my shoe collection and figurines.

I also had a fair share of legos which is next to my perfumes. I just took one of my favorites, the Armani code before spraying it all over my body.

Hinila ko rin yung drawer sa baba nito to get my watch, I think a white watch strap would do the trick.

When I was sure of my outfit, I rechecked everything inside my unit and when I was about to go, Lucky called.

[Hi, I'm done will you be able to fetch me?]

Ba. dump.

What? I clutched my chest and was so confused, she just talked but the beating of my heart quickened.

[Mikha?]

"U-Uh yes, papunta na ako." I tried to sound calm but I was already panicking internally.

Why the hell she has this kind of effect on me? Is this because of the kiss?

The fudge?!

[Drive safely, see you.]

"Yes, thank you." She ended the call and when she did, I exhaled sharply.

Bakit kasi nag-insist pa akong balikan siya? Pero kasi sabi sakin ni Jho, Lucky only called her limo nung nag-pares kami kasi she went to her parent's house.

And now na nasa condo lang siya, I'm pretty sure she has a car pero...

Pero kasi.. I just want to make sure she's not lost and gagawi naman ako sa daan ng unit niya papunta sa pupuntahan namin.

Right!

I hurriedly went down to the parking and hopped inside my car. Pumunta na ako agad sa tapat ng condo niya and I was surprised to see her next to the guard while happily talking to him.

She was engrossed in talking to the old man who was engrossed in listening too. Such a social butterfly she is, nung una akala ko talaga she's aloof.

Maldita lang
